KSU student arrested, barred from campus

KENNESAW, Ga. - A Kennesaw State University student was arrested and barred from campus after officials said he became disruptive in a classroom.

Samuel Joseph Friedman, 17, of Roswell, was arrested Thursday and charged with simple assault, simple battery, and disorderly conduct among other charges.

KSU officials said campus police received reports about the freshman on Tuesday and opened an investigation.

“Based on eyewitness accounts, an arrest warrant was issued and Friedman was arrested the following day,” KSU officials were quoted as saying in a release sent to FOX 5 News.

KSU officials said Friedman does not live in the school's housing and as a condition of his bond, cannot return to the campus.
